This may seem odd, but the Zlincoln is the "purest" metal coin we strike. It's not an alloy, unlike the rest. Not much cause for a pure metal to laminate.

So let me get this right.
I am seeing in the pic clearly a- "Die Crack" -that is split apart and peeling back along with a little shift.
Ok I will have to go with Lamination not a Die Crack from what I see in the Pic.
The Zinc Cent is the worst cent ever made. Zinc Cents are shameful pieces of work. Change that rots. Total waste of money on the Mints/Gov side of things trying to save money.

coop says no lamination's on zincolns so it's not a lamination. I am no pro but I don't think it's a die crack or a lamination,I think it's a plating issue,split copper plating. So now let me poke the bear some more  ,is it an error a variety or nothing but a toss back? John1  |

Well, I have to agree that choosing a metal normally used as a sacrificial anode was a bit odd for coinage.  |

THe shifting is from the crack having space between the the part of the die and the part it is separated from. It is a die crack, it is raised, not incuse. If it was a lamination it would look like it was peeling. |

I dont think it looks raised at all...except for the part of the edges that are possibly from the split plating-id bet a cent on it not being a crack
